Jacob Franks Record

We do not approve OF the con-
domination OF any man unheard.
Hence the admission OF the article
elsewhere from J. Frank.
From our own personal knowl-
edge many Of it, material statements
are unqualifiiely false, and We be-
!ieye they are known to be SO to
Jacob Frank.
His entire career so far as we can
gather ii from the most reliable
sources. has been a continued sys
TEN OF perlidy, fraud aud misrepre-
sentation.
Three honorable men, representa-
tive members sol the Lutheran
church, Bioomenraaer, Gasseli.
and Woe,stein. certify to the synod
that he l. /. swind,er, who has been
ripe for the penitentiary for years.
To avoid paying his honest debts
he puts Lis money into the hands of
friends. taking no receipt therefor,
then after "A long lapse Of time calls
for and obtains more than his de-
post il possible. Jacob Woelstein
took forty dollars OF his money to
keep, and paid him sixty, which he
demanded as the deposit.
The postal card threatening to
shoot Mr.. Hermann We have seen
and read. and know it is true. The
Judgment which Mr.. Hermann
bought was against Jacob Frank
and his own attorney admitted it
as Just set off even if Franks
claim was valid, but the attorney
admitted ii TO be fraudulent. Jacob
Frank is known to have bought
farm machinery giving good prop
erty statement, when he himself
knew and boasted OF the fact that
the statement made was untrue in
every particular. and the notes are
still out unpaid He has deposited
money with Fred Miller. refusing TO
take any receipt therefor. also with
jacob Woelstein. From every good
source we hear Mr.. Frank badly
spoken of. False and fraudulent
chattel mortgages to cover up and
conceal his property. when he had
any, was Il customary practice OF
his. Property levied upon in the
hands OF third party, he frandu-
lently obtained and sold, and was
released from Imprisonment therefor
by the help and money OF friend
for whom he is now understood to
be working. Such life and record
will not be accepted by good men
and true to iniure any person when
other evidence is lacking.
Jacob Frank had not single date
until given TO him by Mr. Hermann,
and the two items of SIT, S33 in the
Frank statement he has inte.polated
to make his case.
The first payment to Frank Of
500, was July 8, 's4 at Howard
Center; the next July 81, "a in Ernst
and Floods store 800. ]. Frank
IL without doubt a black mailer
who feels agrieycd TO think that his
scheme against Mr.. Hermann only
resulted in the payment o. one OF
his honest debts.
II Mr. Heimann does as he may
he could shut Jacob Frank up for
his postal card threatening to shoot
him. and nothing but that he desir-
ed to avoid trouble has prevented
him from giving Mr.. Frank the
lawful punishment he has earned.

It is the duty Of every person who
has used B0schee's German Syrup
to let its wonderful qualities be
known to their friends In curing
Consumption, severe Cough, Group,
Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact
all throat and lung diseases. No
person can use 1t without immedi-
ate relief. Three doses will relieve
any case, and We consider it the duty
OF all Druggists to recommend It to
the. poor, dying consumptive. at
least to Try one bottle, as $4,000
dozen bottles were sold last year.
and not one case where II failed
was reported. Such q medicine as
the German Syrup cannot be TOO
widely known. Ask your druggist
about it. Sample bottles to try,

The Governor ought to convene

Immediately to take such LAWFUL
action in regard to railroad trans

remedy the defects Of the interstate
commerce law as applicable to our
state and Its people. The first
thing to do should be tho repeal Of
our useless commissioner system,
and the re-enGctment OF the gran
GER law with such changes and
notifications In detail as the defects
in its practical workings suggested.
Then some legislation Is needed
looking to the just aud equitable
assessment Of railroad property in
the state. The railroad commits

the proper officers OF the different
lines OF railroads in our state. report
their value to be $415,OlO. 066, SO.
Yet tie executive council Of the
state, consisting Of Gov. Larrabee,

Why, the rolling stock alone used
and taxable in Iowa and nowhere
else makes grand total in valua-
ton OF SCI, 5O4, OOO, every dollar OF
which should be assessed, and as
eessed at the rates that personal
property OF individuals is assessed,
would amount to over $4,000. 900.
This would leave the roadbeds, side
tracks, depcts and grounds assessed
at only sl6,34O.6Sl. The railroads
for the purpose Of fixing their rates
of transportation, claim their road
beds to have cost over $4,000 per
mile, for the purpose Of assessment
the railroads claimed before the ex-
ecutiye council Of the state, that
they cost less than $4,000, as Gov
Larrabee stated in his argumen!
before the commissioners in the
matter before that body against the
CD. & @. Indeed the representa-.
tiyes Of the railroads before the
executive council, asserted that any
road in the state could be duplicated
for thirteen thousand dollars mile
Ii this be so, then proper assess
ment is just the thing to squeeze
out some OF the water upon which
they are charging profit In trans
portation rates. The executive
council seek to pose before tn
public as hostile to railroad extor
ton inasmuch as the aggregate
assessment of railroads is some
$4,000. 900 more than for 1886. Blu
it must be remembered that Al
miles Of new railroad have beel
added to the railroad mileage since
that assessment was made. Tn
average mileage assessment for tn
past fifteen yesrs has been as fol

Farm property in Iowa IL assessed

trife over nine per cent. Farm
property does not yield q large

Now the legislature needs to be
called together to take in considera-
